Additional Inspirations
If you’re like me, and save all the tissue paper from past gifts you’ve received, you may also want to try adding some colored tissue paper in between your layers of pattern paper that accent your gift wrapping paper. Or, try incorporating some ribbon or lace into your folds. Perhaps accenting your creation with a spare button or an old hat pin could be the perfect finishing touch.
